Keni Thomas Rings in the New Year Opening for Lonestar

Nashville, TN (Moraine Records) - The Atlanta skyline will be the backdrop for Keni Thomas and his band, Cornbread, when they ring in the New Year at Underground Atlanta's 18th Annual Peach Drop 2007, one of the largest New Year's Eve countdown celebrations in the Southeast. Opening for country supergroup, Lonestar, Thomas will perform December 31 from 9:30-11:00 p.m. on the Main Stage in the heart of downtown Atlanta. The free celebration begins at noon and runs until 4:00 a.m. Thomas returns for the hometown performance after entertaining thousands of soldiers throughout the Middle East on a two-week USO Holiday Tour December 11-24 with country stars Darryl Worley and Mark Wills.

Drawing more than 175,000 in previous years, the Peach Drop continues to be the highlight of downtown Atlanta! The magnificent 800-pound peach will begin its much-anticipated 65 second decent shortly before midnight to the New Year. Crowds will see a colorful fireworks display that will light up the night.

The Peach Drop at Underground Atlanta will once again be presented by AirTran Airways for an amazing fourth year in a row and syndicated in over 40 markets. "We are excited to partner with Underground Atlanta for this remarkable event for the fourth year running. We are delighted to be associated with one of the Southeast's most renowned events and enjoy ringing in the New Year in Atlanta every year," stated Tad Hutcheson, vice president of marketing and sales for AirTran Airways. The Peach Drop is also sponsored in part by myATLtv, Washington Mutual, The Sunday Paper, Sheraton Atlanta Hotel, Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
